it won't work, so it's better to find that out when
you compile the program rather than waste time compiling
it only to fail when run.

Hi All,
the ape/pwd.h has the following
(in short pw_passwd missing, is this something unwanted ?)

struct passwd {
	char	*pw_name;
	uid_t	pw_uid;
	gid_t	pw_gid;
	char	*pw_dir;
	char	*pw_shell;
};


Linux has:
struct passwd
{
  char *pw_name;                /* Username.  */
  char *pw_passwd;              /* Password.  */
  __uid_t pw_uid;               /* User ID.  */
  __gid_t pw_gid;               /* Group ID.  */
  char *pw_gecos;               /* Real name.  */
  char *pw_dir;                 /* Home directory.  */
  char *pw_shell;               /* Shell program.  */
};

BSD:
struct passwd {
		   char    *pw_name;	   /* user name */
		   char    *pw_passwd;	   /* encrypted password */
		   uid_t   pw_uid;	   /* user uid */
		   gid_t   pw_gid;	   /* user gid */
		   time_t  pw_change;	   /* password change time */
		   char    *pw_class;	   /* user access class */
		   char    *pw_gecos;	   /* Honeywell login info */
		   char    *pw_dir;	   /* home directory */
		   char    *pw_shell;	   /* default shell */
		   time_t  pw_expire;	   /* account expiration */
};

Cheers,
/Prem
